Japan’s modern military, the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF), is a highly capable, technologically advanced force comprising Ground (JGSDF), Maritime (JMSDF), and Air (JASDF) branches, focused on national defense, equipped with modern Western-aligned assets like F-35s and Aegis destroyers, and increasingly expanding budgets and capabilities (including cyber/counterstrike) due to threats from China and North Korea, while still defined by its post-WWII pacifist constitution and strong reliance on the US alliance #JASDF
